Barolo Montanello DOCG

Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo

Alcohol content: 15% ABV

Vineyard: The grapes used to produce this Barolo are harvested in the "Vigna degli Scalini," the upper part of a plot with a full southern exposure and vines dating back to 1992. The vines are renewed annually to maintain consistent production and add younger aromas to the wine. Here, the grapes achieve excellent and complete ripeness, giving the wines intense fruity aromas and a spicy aftertaste.

Winery: Traditional vinification is used, characterized by a long maceration of over 40 days, even after the end of alcoholic fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Aging: For 12 months in lightly toasted French oak barriques, for 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, and for the remaining year in bottle.

Color: Bold ruby red with intense, well-defined garnet highlights, very bright and lively.

Nose: Intense, deep, and fresh, with fruity notes of dried plum, raspberry, and floral notes reminiscent of violet, vanilla, and spices such as nutmeg, culminating in hints of dark chocolate.

Taste: Full-bodied, enveloping, and with a dry yet pleasant finish, thanks to the presence of tannins softened by the oak aging; this wine's structure stands out, and the aftertaste is long, floral, and reminiscent of licorice.

Pairings: Rich, flavorful dishes from the finest national and international cuisine, especially red meats, game, braised meats, and truffled dishes.
